13 But now in Messiah Yeshua, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.
14 For He is our shalom, the One who made the two into one and broke down the middle wall of separation. Within His flesh He made powerless the hostility—
15 the law code of mitzvot contained in regulations. He did this in order to create within Himself one new man from the two groups, making shalom,
16 and to reconcile both to God in one body through the cross—by which He put the hostility to death.
17 And He came and proclaimed shalom to you who were far away and shalom to those who were near—
18 for through Him we both have access to the Father by the same Ruach.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household.
